The trademark-happy Marc Angell is at it again, filing applications this past week with the United States Patent and Trademark Office for goods and services nearly identical to other companies’ products.
The series of trademark filings include gCloud and CloudStream on June 7, and YouCloud on June 6. The timing comes in the same week of the Apple Worldwide Developer Conference where iCloud was officially announced.
Before you say to yourself, “What’s the big deal about the trademarks?”, you have to keep in mind that Marc Angell has a trackrecord of filing controversial trademarks like iPad which was suspended. The goods and services noted in the applications are not only similar in name, but in services.
Here’s a look at Marc Angell’s latest applications:
